This is really sad. My deepest condolences to the Kyed family.
With the most unimaginable broken heart, we have to share that we lost our little Hallie bear yesterday, January 21. A few weeks ago, we learned her last round of chemo was not effective and her AML had spread. We clung on to hope and started her on a new trial drug, but her disease simultaneously spread rapidly and couldn’t be stopped. She passed away comfortably and peacefully, snuggled next to us at Children’s Hospital, where the whole family stayed the past week to spend every minute with her.
We will never understand why or how something so horrible can happen. She was such a special little person and we're so grateful we had her in our lives and got to love her and be her parents.
All we can do is pour over pictures and videos. She was such a spirited, feisty, spunky, beautiful baby. She made everyone smile and we believe she touched everyone she ever met. She could make us laugh with a single word, a shift of an eyeball, a point of a finger. She was the girliest girl, of course always wearing princess dresses. Always saying “nails!” “boots!” “dress!” when admiring others. She dramatically sang princess songs and loved to dance. She was the best dancer in the house. She’d tell anyone to “shake your butt!”
She had so much life in her little body. Before she was diagnosed, she always woke up so excited for the day. She’d go straight to the closet and drawers to get herself ready, saying “jacket, boots, hat, car,” ready to go. Throughout her battle with leukemia, she always got up. She demanded to go on about 800 walks in her stroller in her final week. She passed away with paint on her hands and sparkles in her hair from doing crafts.
She loved her family so much. She’d talk about them all the time when they weren’t visiting or FaceTiming. She relentlessly talked about what she wanted to get each family member for Christmas last month. We're so grateful our families were able to see her daily this past week and made her feel so loved.
She loved painting, LOL dolls, her pink Hallie blanket, her cat Rambe and puppies.
The world is a worse place without Hallie in it.
If you can take anything from Hallie today, it's to know exactly what you want and to be persistent in asking for it, whether it's going on a walk, ride in the car or wearing one particular princess dress (usually Cruella).
We'll keep you updated on Hallie's memorial services.
